Chapter 36
The next few days.
The evil spirit Miss Mary on the phone has fully demonstrated to Kamiyagawa that what is meant by strange talk is to keep its word.
Every night at 10:15, the famous ghost talker would call Kamiyagawa unshakably.
Then ten thirty. Mary arrives at the gate of Hualing High School on time, and will politely announce in advance on the other end of the phone:
"Hi, I'm Miss Mary. I'm at the gate of Hualing High School now."
Every night, every time.
There is no delay or advance for a minute or a second.
In the past two days, Kamiyagawa has had an inexplicable illusion, as if he has been dating a girl with a strong sense of time every night recently.
It's just that the content of dating every day may not be so easy for ordinary people to accept, and Kamiyagawa himself doesn't particularly like it.
...
"Hi, I'm Miss Mary. I'm right behind you."
The huge butcher knife gleaming with cold light fell from top to bottom.
Clean and tidy, without leaving any sympathy.
Accompanied by the death reminder of [Falling], Kamiyagawa's consciousness returned to reality once again.
Hualing High School at night is very quiet.
In the cherry blossom forest where the branches are all pink, there is only the slight sound of insects.
But this tranquility was quickly broken by the loud ringtone of the mobile phone——
"Big husband, いつか big husband になる, なんて思う日々を几つ重ねた, Today だって勤りTokyoの景に通ける拍は, 幽霊みたいだ"
It was that familiar number.
Mary's call.
As before, there is no need for Kamiyagawa's operation, and the call will be connected automatically.
On the other end of the phone is a young female voice so cold that it seems that there is no trace of human emotion: "Hello, I am Miss Mary. I am tired today. I will come to you again at this time tomorrow."
doodle.
After finishing the sentence, the phone was hung up.
"It's the sixth time."
The man from Kamiyagawa felt a little numb. He patted the dust stuck to his clothes, and stood up from the edge of the cherry blossom forest, with a look of lovelessness on his face.
six days.
Do you know how I spent these six days?
Every night I was hacked by Mary with a machete that was as tall as a person!
Moreover, every time Miss Mary hacked herself to death in the world of strange stories, she would call lightly and make an appointment for tomorrow's itinerary.
"So when will she let me go, chopping like this every day, won't she get tired of playing?"
Eyes won't dry?
hum.
When Kamiyagawa was still doubting his life by the cherry blossom forest, his phone vibrated and a message popped up.
It is the system prompt of "Ghost Story".
Kamiyagawa shrunk his neck involuntarily, he was a little ptsd by the notification of this garbage game.
Every time "Kaitan Monogatari" is notified, something bad will happen.
[Your character has acquired a new status. ]
Click on the [Personal Information] column, and the [Mary's Curiosity] in the status has disappeared, replaced by a new entry——
【Miss Mary wants to play】
[So funny! So funny! Miss Mary thinks that you, who will never really die no matter how much you kill, are her most suitable playmates! ]
[But the happy time is always short. Miss Mary wants to prolong the pleasure, she wants to play hard with you. ]
[Miss Mary hopes that next time you play together, you can run. She chases, you run away, you are both unable to fly. ]
"Is it okay to play hard with me?"
Kamiyagawa couldn't complain anymore. After carefully reading the new entry from beginning to end, he roughly understood the meaning of his recent regular date.
Humans and ghosts don't share feelings.
Kamiyagawa didn't experience any fun in the process of "playing" with Mary.
But Miss Mary didn't get tired of playing at all, and even felt that she didn't play enough, and wanted to extend the time of a single play.
Just like a cat teasing its prey when hunting, the evil spirit on the phone hoped that he could resist a few times before being killed next time.
"What kind of bad woman have I provoked?"
Kamiyagawa wanted to cry but had no tears.
But after thinking about it, it is not unacceptable for Miss Mary to wish to extend the time of a single play.
As long as she doesn't think about playing with her twice a day, other things...
Already, it doesn't matter.
...
At around ten o'clock the next morning, Kamiyagawa logged into the game in the school.
There are only 14 days left until Hanako completes her foreign visit.
Because Miss Mary will regularly consume the dead paper figurines every night, the chance to log in to the game during the day is very precious.
The third floor of the teaching building on the west side.
Kamiyagawa went deep into this boss area again this morning.
Counting the swordsmanship experience gained from hang-up with Chigui teacher, Kamiyagawa's current proficiency level [Nodachi self-display style] already has nearly 700 experience points.
There is still 300 points left to upgrade.
Relying on the phone to get this part of the missing experience is a bit too reluctant.
Therefore, Kamiyagawa intends to seek wealth and insurance.
When he met Hanako for the first time last time, he performed exceptionally well in adversity, and forcibly killed Hanako's father with the three-foot strike that he had comprehended on the spot.
Take this to eat a lot of skill experience.
"If I can reproduce the experience I had last time, I should be able to calmly raise the self-displaying style of swordsmanship to a higher level before Hanako completes the foreign visit."
After all, it is the only reliable combat skill at hand, and Kamiyagawa still attaches great importance to the level improvement of [Nodachi Self-Display Style].
The familiar cramped women's toilet.
As before, there are five toilet cubicles, four of which are open, and the third, where Hanako is, is closed.
Hanako's father in the first room has been killed by Kamiyagawa, and now it is empty, leaving only two, four, five and three rooms, where Hanako's mother, younger sister, and younger brother are sitting in turn.
"Looking for our Hanako, what's the matter?"
"Looking for my sister, what's the matter?"
Similar to the last BOSS battle performance, Hanako's family stood up on the toilet like puppets, twisted and swayed, and stepped out like puppets.
Kamiyagawa is also ready for battle.
Holding a [blood-stained hatchet], the three-foot strike is ready to go.
Flying steps cross the distance, the blade splits...
Before a set of silky little combos could be fully displayed, Kamiya Chuan suddenly felt his shoulders sink.
It seemed that something extremely heavy fell from the ceiling onto his body, and hugged him tightly from the back.
"Yes, yes, oh~"
A slightly playful, yet extremely eerie little girl's voice sounded from beside his ears.
Kamiyagawa could even feel that the speaker was blowing into his ear. Strange strands of hair, along with the sound of speech, were rubbing against his collar and neck.
bow your head.
He saw a pair of pale and immature hands embracing his chest from behind.
The ominous black air visible to the naked eye is rising from these hands.
Kamiyagawa couldn't figure out what it was that fell on him from the ceiling.
Ghost doll Hanako!
This BOSS did not stay in the third toilet cubicle honestly, but hung on the ceiling early and waited for him!
Shortness of breath.
The air in the lungs seemed to be squeezed out in an instant, and the skin on the constricted chest became purple and black.
After being embraced by Hanako from behind, Kamiyagawa lost his ability to fight and fell forward softly.
"What's the matter?"
"What's the matter?" "What's the matter?"
His vision began to blur, and only the repeating words of Hanako's family were left in his ears.
